Run a small rear wing with not much gurney, it doesnt like it.
The B44 rear hubs are a worthwhile upgrade. You will need the larger outer bearing, and the different crush tube, the one from the original B4 hubs will not fit, as it is too long.

In terms of adjustments, i used to alter:

Front inner ballstud height
Rear wheelbase at hub
Rear shock mounting location on tower.

That was about it really.

If i was getting grip roll, or very high grip, adding a washer or two under the inner rear ballstud used to help.

Hope this helps.

I'v heared that if u run a front wing, the cars handles agressive..
So I thinks I'm going to stick with just only the rear wing..
